I believe that Ken sent me the section from the game although I don't remember whether it was the Qxb6 (not played) or the Be4 position. I believe that Amir posted something about the position early, but his comments were based on either not understanding what DB's log output meant, or something else. This was about the "fail low (panic time)" that caused DB to search much longer than normal and may have been on the Be4 move although I simply don't remember much about it since it was not a particularly significant event in my mind because at the time I posted an excerpt from a Crafty log that looked _identical_ in concept. Nothing ever looked strange about the log stuff to me...
